TalentSoft Announces That it has Raised 3 Million Euros in Capital to Strengthen its European Position

PARIS, January 13, 2011 - TalentSoft (www.talentsoft.com/), the leader in SaaS-based
Integrated Talent Management, announced that it has raised 3 million Euros in
capital from Seventure Partners (a subsidiary of Natixis Private Equity) and
the Alto Invest Company. This raised capital, achieved with the help of
Chausson Finance, marks the company's strong growth. The financing will help
TalentSoft deploy its expertise abroad.

A third round of financing - an indicator of growth

In a Talent Management market that shows average growth of 20% per year,
TalentSoft reinforces its position as a market leader by tripling its
activity from 2009 - 2010. In addition to a huge increase in orders from 1.5
to 4.5 million Euros, TalentSoft acquired 25 new clients in 2010. Motivated
by the common goals of consolidating and developing human capital, big groups
such as Bollore, Elior, Total and CreditMutuel have chosen TalentSoft. This
display of confidence, as well as several HRD testimonials provided during
the year, have largely contributed to Seventure's decision to invest - the
company is contributing capital for the 3rd time since 2008 - and helped to
attract Alto as a new investor.

"We are thrilled to continue supporting TalentSoft, which has already
proven its ability to become the European leader in SaaS-based Talent
Management", stated Marion Aubry, Partner at Seventure Partners. "Through our
investment, we now wish to contribute to TalentSoft's long-term growth and
help develop its international presence", added Alto Invest's Olivier
Tanneveau.

A goal: to become the key player in European talent management

TalentSoft is internationally recognised by the most respected analysts
in the IT sector. Its innovative solution is deployed for 300 000 employees
in over 30 countries. This represents over a million people reviews performed
each year using TalentSoft. Mentioned four times by GARTNER in 2010 as a "key
player in performance and talent management", TalentSoft also ranked in the
"winners" category of the Internet software and services market according to
a study carried out by PAC (Pierre Audoin Consultants) in 2010 for the
European Commission.

Today, TalentSoft wants to further invest in the European market by
building on its existing network of subsidiaries in United Kingdom, Spain and
Germany, while continuing to support its current international clients. By
strengthening its presence abroad, TalentSoft also hopes to reinforce its
worldwide network of Certified partners, who provide implementation,
assistance and training support for the TalentSoft solution.

"Today, our partners programme represents a solid base for our
development strategy and our success on the Talent Management market.Now
armed with fresh financial resources, a solution that is unique on the
market, and a large pool of satisfied HRDs, TalentSoft is striving to achieve
the position of European leader. We currently foresee doubling our activity
for 2011", concludes Jean-Stephane Arcis, CEO of TalentSoft.
